Hi I have no idea about plumbing and wondered how easy it would be to move the water stopcocks or leave the old and add new ones in a better location?
Its for my grand mother she has an ex council flat in London NW6 and the kitchen is very old I would like to replace for her but all the water stop cocks are behind a panel in the corner of the kitchen, this makes the organisation of new cupboards very awkward as you may need to get to that panel at some point in the future. due to a new boiler put on the wall in the kitchen last year this means cupboard space is very restricted. so it would be great if we could extend the pipes out, so they come out of the recess in the wall and can be accessed via the new cupboard units or completely moved/replaced to another place as there are a number of pipes in the airing cupboards and hallway cupboards.
Any advice or past experiences welcome as where they are now is deep in the wall between the kitchen and bathroom..
